FAQ Synopsis
FAQ is a Korean family fantasy film written and directed by Kim Da-min. The young protagonist of Kim Dong-Chun finds an escape from the pressures put on her by her parents by imagining herself in a field with children’s show mascots. With the help of a bottle of rice wine and her estranged uncle, Kim Dong-Chun begins to go down the road planned for her.
My Thoughts on FAQ
As a whole FAQ is a cute children’s fantasy film, with a solid performance by its young lead. While the film does leave some threads hanging, such as whether Kim Dong-Chun was aware that the man helping her was her uncle, it ultimately has little consequence to where the film ultimately ends up.
